Small fishing boat advice needed please

[JOHN1]

and for €2k

Thats €2000 John

Plenty of 1/2 decent (I think, refer to topic) boats in the £1250-1500 bracket for sale in the UK, prices really seem to have tumbled since when I was looking last year

Any advice John on my original post

i knew it was 2000 mark.
sorry for been so blunt but what i was trying to say if you could turn it into a 12k or 20k you would get a lot to choose from
I'm sure you guessed that with the replies you have received.
at the end of the day you get what you pay for i wish you luck with your boat hunt, because thats exactly what your going to be doing.

mourne boats had a wilson flyer with a nice 60 mariner 2stk + roller trailer for 3.500ish when i was up there last month or so.
do a little more saving mark give yourself a little target for next year

Sound John,

Did you get a look at the flyer, is it in decent condition?

I could spend upto €4/5/6k really, but fancied keeping a few quid in my pocket for a jetski, and also the less I spend now, the more dosh I have for fuel for my fishing trips

[JOHN1]

fair condition bit of cracking around transom he said they would sort out.
the engine was very clean looking.

hi shamoo,

i bought a seahog hunter a couple of years ago, 2k stirling

thought i had a bargain, but then all the bits and bobs kept popping up

radio was crap repaced with a new dsc navman 7100, and ariel

fishfinder and gps not working properly,,,,,another few hundred quid

i re-newed all the wheelbearings, more time and expense

no flares, lifejackets, or fire extinguishers,,,more money

splashguard and windows faded and scratched, and the big one, found osmosis in the floor

off to seahog,,,new splashguard, windows, and new floor, not much change out of 1200 quid

spent well over 2k on it, sold last year to a mate for 3k, he got a bargain

theres a number of cheap boats at the moment on donedeal .ie pity they wernt there in december before i bought in england ` twinkle
